Compared to earlier models we're lucky to have USB ports at all, and that they're placed in a logical convenient location.
Given the lack of universal standards for higher power it's understandable that a carmaker would be reluctant to embrace stuff like QuickCharge that's proprietary and risky. If we're lucky the next redesign will change those ports to USB Type-C with power delivery, which looks to be the new boss. Then they can sell an Audi type-C USB cable for $250.

According to this post, he measured the A3's USB port at 1.47 amps. I'm guessing ours is just as much because it does an awesome job charging my Nexus 6P's battery while using Waze for navigation.

I haven't tried it from my phone but there's a button with a speech balloon and plus sign that probably does the same thing.

On a computer, it's the button right next to quote. Mouse over it and it should read "quote multiple" or something like that. Do that to the posts that you want to multi quote and hit the reply button on the bottom right of the page.

Not sure if you guys know about the telescoping steering wheel. Don't know if it's just on the flat bottom steering wheel ,but mine pulls out farther then any car I've ever seen. Gives you that race car driver feeling when your sitting normal and when I'm sitting in traffic ( like most of the time ) I can recline the seat back and still have the wheel close to me in a comfortable position

Another thing I discovered is that the car has a Jukebox (at least mine does, withe B&O sound system). In my Ford Expedition it has this, but in that vehicle all you could do is rip CDs. In the Audi, you can rip CDs, but you can also load in MP3s, AAC, H.264 and other stuff from a SD card, and all the metadata (artwork, etc) comes with it.
It's pretty neat.
